Blue sky thinking

Today's sunshine persuaded me that the time had finally arrived for the fresh air and exercise that I keep promising myself. The boys and I went out on an easy bike ride this morning to avoid too many complaints of exhaustion from my youngest. But he is now seven and finally, finally, he enjoyed the cycling.  He was speeding along ahead of me, rather than needing constant encouragement and reassurance that there was almost no chance he would die before the top of the hill. 

Back at home we got a little too hot - crazy! - doing some gardening. Cycling and gardening are two of my very favourite activities, though you'd never believe that from how little I do of them.  I get on my bike; I am happy.  I dig up some weeds or plant a seed; I am happy. But when I think about doing these wonderfully fulfilling activities I almost always manage to come up with an excuse to put it off until another time.  I'm sure there's some good evolutionary reason for this, conservation of precious energy resources or something, but it Will Not Do.

It was so uplifting to be outside but not cold - or rather not wet, as far as this past winter was concerned. I have high hopes that this summer there will be plenty of cycling and gardening.

Knitting news... I have not much to show for myself; my knitting time has mostly been taken up with swatching recently, and they're highly experimental swatches and not very pretty. It's fun doing crazy stuff with yarn and needles though.

And the Charlie the Cat knitting kit is on hold for a little while, as other work has become a priority for now.  Hopefully he'll be written up as a pattern at some point though; I am fond of him and his little friend Tiddler.
